THE BAILIFFS IN

FASHIONABLE HOUSE Sydney Tenants’ Amusing Exit (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received October 22 at 9.40 p.m.) SYDNEY, October 22. Extraordinary scenes, recalling the flight of war refugees, were witness-to-day duning an exodus of tenants from a large, fashionable residential house on the north side, of Sydney harbour, owing to the bailiffs having taken charge. Vehicles lined up and carted away trunks, and bags, and a jumble of nondescript impedimenta. Portly ladies carried an assortment of boxes, photographs, cushions, canaries in cages, expensive parrots, and pomeranian dogs. Hilanious young men were weighed down with suiteases, golf clubs and other sporting paraphernalia, and at either side, of the main entrance of the palatial building there stood elderly, quiet, inoffensive-looking bailiffs, who were the immediate cause, though not the originating .spring, of all the bother. The majority of the departing tenants were happy and were glad of there being fine weather for “moving day. ’ ’ f The funniture went extraordinarily cheap at the bailiffs’ sale afterwards. Double beds brought 2/6. wardrobes 3/-, tables 1/-, and sedan chairs went for 4/-.
